SuSE 9.2, Samba, wrong GID/UID after mount

Hey guys,

i have the following command:

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=password,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=0,fmask=0rw //192.168.1.111/user /home/user/network/

yet when i open up the /home/user/network folder, i cannot access any of the folders nor write anywhere, because the UID and GID are still set to what it is on the server..... how can i mount a samba directory so that one user has full permissions to it, regardless of it's permissions on the server? and how do i set it up in fstab?

i have tried adding the following to /etc/fstab, yet it does nothing at all

Code:

//192.168.1.111/user /home/user/network smbfs rw,credentials=/home/user/.credentials 0 0

and

Code:

//192.168.1.111/user /home/user/network smbfs rw,username=user,password=password 0 0

in all of the above user and password will of course be substituted for the actual name and password....

any help would be great on this!

I have also tried NFS to help solve my linux-linux problems, yet it never allowed me to share on a per user basis.

Hi,

you're right about NFS, it only uses UID/GID, so that they must be the same on all your machines.
as for samba, what you use should work fine... did you check the file's permission in smb.conf ?

the permissions in samba were set to 705 by setting:

Code:

create mask = 0705

directory mask = 0705

force directory mode = 0705

force directory security mode = 705

force security mode = 705

but i have now scrapped that, and it still uses the serves UID and GID.... so confused!
